    Coughing can be a sign of a goitre. Go back and see another GP.

    Hi Nicola, I developed a dry cough, it appeared to coincide with the formula being changed on medication, spoke to pharmacist who had not heard of this happening before, I took myself off the medication and cough improved, though took a couple of weeks (I would not encourage anyone to stop taking medication), however just an awareness of side effects, to discuss further with GP.

    I myself suffer from a chronic cough, but also feels like I have to keep clearing my throat.  My endo told me that Post nasal drip is common with hypothyroidism.  Not sure if this is what you may be experiencing, but just a though..
